Fishing pegs on the Grand Union Canal

An adults-only fishing holiday in a remote corner of Northamptonshire: if there’s nothing about that statement that you take exception to, consider booking a place at Heygates, on the banks of the Grand Union Canal. This rural site sits just outside the tiny hamlet of Elkington (which is proud of a history that dates back to the Domesday Book) – this all translates into a blissfully quiet experience. However, it’s also close to major roads such as the M1 and the A14, which means that reaching cities like Rugby (20 minutes) and Northampton (35 minutes) is a (relatively) stress-free exercise. There’s not much on site besides a number of well-maintained hardstanding touring pitches and water hook-up points (you’ll have to have your own toilet and washing facilities). Having said that, if you don’t mind a degree of wild camping, this is a pretty good spot for de-stressing, which you can do on one of the site’s fishing pegs (available by arrangement; license required), fishing rod in hand and your faithful canine companion (a welcome guest here) by your side. No need to fret if fish don’t bite: you can source what you need for your barbecue from the local supermarkets, either in Welford (five minutes) or West Haddon (10 minutes). Or maybe you prefer to make your way to a country pub – the nearest is in Yelvertoft (40 minutes away on foot). Fancy a more challenging walk? The long-distance Jurassic Way (stretching between Oxfordshire and Lincolnshire) is a 10-minute drive away, and you can follow it for about 12 miles all the way to Market Harborough (should take about four hours on foot).

Likte Very peaceful nice walks lovely owner very friendly

Likte ikke Couldn’t fish as was over grown

Fra bestyreren: Thanks for the review Kelly, it was a pleasure to meet you and your lovely dog.

Sorry about the fishing - you should have dropped me a text, and I'd have brought the strimmer down! Drop me a text if you choose to visit again and I'll make sure it's all good to go.

Have a lovely summer

Likte Great location, very peaceful and a lovely gravel pitch.
Right next to the Grand Union Canal for a walk and to watch the boats.
The Owners were very friendly and helpful through email and phone.
Will definitely be returning in the near future if available

Likte Beautiful private 1 pitch site. Nice helpful owner. We only had 1 night and would have liked to stay longer.
Not advised if you don't have a caravan motor mover. Beautiful canal walk. As you go through the gate park your car in the middle.

Excellent rustic spot for getting away and doing some canal fishing

Likte Area was nice

Likte ikke Got to the campsite but was a corn field so the farmer guy had to cut the grass for us to pitch

Fra bestyreren: You booked for 4 people, but turned up with 5.

Your party was rude, noisy, and left 3 large bags of rubbish behind, despite clear instructions to take everything away with you.

You turned up without any toilet facilities, despite the ilsting making clear that we did not offer any.

You drove your camper van down a pathway, then despite asking you to stay away from the Lodge areas, the 5 of you wandered through our garden area later the same day, making lots of noise.

The listing makes perfectly clear that this is hard-standing pitch, but despite that, one of your group expected me to know that you were bringing tents. I offered you a full refund at that point, which you refused.

I see that you've rated cleanliness as 1 - I'm curious how you think I can make a 3 acre wildflower meadow cleaner.

I am glad you have stated that you wouldn't stay here again - please don't ever come back.

Likte The owner gave full instructions before I arrived and was very helpful. The Instructions were spot on. Very peaceful and right by the canal. Thoroughly enjoyed the peace being the only one there

Likte ikke Was a bit awkward reversing in without getting stuck in the stones. But no issues exiting the site.

Lokale attraksjoner

Whatever the season, there’s always something to look at Coton Manor Garden (15 minutes’ drive), which spreads around a 17th-century manor house. First laid out in the 1920s, the gardens are home to woodland bluebell meadows, fragrant rose bushes and colourful foxgloves. For more landscaped gardens, head to Lamport Hall (20 minutes). A vibrant university city, Leicester (40 minutes) is where the remains of Richard III were discovered in 2012. The King Richard III Visitor Centre has interactive displays on the monarch and the War of the Roses, while the Leicester Museum and Art Gallery has a large collection of German Expressionist art. Coventry (40 minutes) is home to a remarkable modern cathedral, built next door to the ruins of its 14th-century predecessor, destroyed during World War II. An exhibition at the Herbert Art Gallery & Museum explores the history of Lady Godiva, who was said to have ridden a horse through the streets of the city in the nude.
